The film was not financed by crowdfunding, contrary to popular belief. The Kickstarter campaign was aimed solely at preserving and restoring the contents of the Zappa vault. The film that resulted from that preservation was itself financed by conventional backers.
Other than the fact this documentary was directed by Alex Winter, a self-proclaimed Frank Zappa fan, the "Bill & Ted" franchise where Winter plays Bill has at least two connections with Zappa. One of Frank's sons Dweezil Zappa co-wrote the song "Two Heads Are Better Than One" by Power Tool for the soundtrack of Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989), while Steve Vai (who worked with Zappa from 1980 to 1983) contributed to two songs for the soundtrack of the follow-up movie Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (1991): "The Reaper" and "The Reaper Rap".
"Ruth Underwood: It was that type of music that he could produce that was a product of everything that was in him. But you couldn't really categorize it. You couldn't say, Oh yeah, that's rock and roll, 'cause it wasn't. Ruth Underwood: It's jazz. No. It really wasn't. It's pop music. No. Not at all. Well, what the hell is it? Ruth Underwood: It's Zappa."
